Unlike Russia, we do not offer overpriced gas to Turkey, SOCAR Vice President Elshad Nasyrov told a news conference. "Azeri -Turkish negotiations leading to agreement on fair market price for Azeri gas is a positive result for Turkey. In view of possibilities to export additional capacities of gas in the second stage of Shakh Deniz project, Azeri gas manufacturers could have demanded Turkey to pay higher prices for the first- and second-stage gas. But we won't increase prices, as we believe that any long-term export contract will be effective only in case both the seller and the customer are satisfied," Elshad Nasirov said.


"At present parties are approaching compromising and fair market solution," 1news.az. cited Elshad Nasyrov as saying.
